Help planning a Montana vacation

My wife wants to go to Montana, specifically western Montana, for our summer vacation/10th year anniversary. Neither of us has ever set foot in the state, so I'm looking for ideas. I'd appreciate the help.

Neither of us is into fishing. I'm one of those kind of people that will only kill another living thing out of necessity, unless it's an annoying co-worker or someone who rides in the passing line on the freeway.

Glacier National Park is a MUST. If you go in mid-to late July, there is a chance you'll be able to travel on the Road to the Sun, a hellacious drive over the Continental Divide (but there are also tour busses). Also highly recommend hiking to Avalanche Lake. It's not a difficult hike and the lake, surrounded on almost all sided by snow-covered peaks is spectacular. The area around Flathead Lake is fantastic, Whitefish, Kalispell et. al. There is a Bison Preserve in the area as well, only saw a couple bison during the winding drive through the preserve, but as soon as I left, I came across a ranch with dozens of bison. Incredible sight to see.
A few good brew pubs in Missoula.

Great ideas. I saw a thing on the history channel about the Road to the Sun. No way in hell and I'm driving that on my own. We'll take the bus.

I'm a big fan of Bozeman, not a big fan of Butte (one of their biggest tourist attractions is a superfund site. You pay to look at a huge hole filled with toxic water). If you and the wife play golf and happen to be anywhere near Anaconda, check out Oldworks golf course. It's a pretty nice Nicklaus course, and because it's in the middle of nowhere, it's only $40 or something like that.

And as DanOregon mentioned, the Flathead lake, Whitefish area is worth a visit.
